Whoa, there are so many more than I thought!
Way more than I thought and way more in the interior of the continent than I thought too. Honestly I assumed there were none.
ETA: …also, an actual link to the article

I felt the same way. I always thought there were under 15 active stations nowadays. And of those, I figured there were only 5-6 that were active year long. Boy, was I surprised when I learned the true amount!
And some are still missing e.g. Mendel Polar Station

I wasn’t able to find any information indicating that this station was lost, missing, etc. on the Wikipedia link you shared. Have I overlooked something?
If you’re at the south pole, how do you explain which direction you’re going? Everywhere is north.
During the polar day, you can identify the longitude (East-West direction) by the UTC and the position of the sun.
I never knew I needed the answer to this question.

Ugg, need to find a new neighborhood, this one is overcrowded and gentrified.
